Jack Newton is a fan of science. A dedicated fan. His decision to permanently print a portrait of the world famous physicist Stephen Hawking on his leg not only proves his die-hard attitude towards science but also demonstrates his excellent taste in body art.

The tattoo – complete with a Monty Python line from the classic Life of Brian film ‘He’s not the messiah. He’s a very naughty boy’ written underneath it – has already won two trophies at tattoo conventions.

Mr Newton said: “I read A Brief History of Time, but to be honest I didn’t understand a word, but I respect the man and that’s why I got his face tattooed on my leg.

That’s a good enough reason than any to get a tattoo. As for myself, well, I lost a bet.

Here’s a wedding ring that’s out of the ordinary. A “Yes, I Do” sound wave is cut-out of the ring. No engraving your significant other’s favorite love poem on this ring. There’s no room for it. Designer Sakura Koshimizu uses lasers to cut out the shape of the waveform produced from your own “Yes I Do.”

Using some sound editing software, Sakura records your voice during the ceremony. The software will show the sound waves on the screen, which are then fed into a laser which cuts it out of the silver. She even makes earrings out of the cut-out sound waves. No wasted materials here, folks.

Bastards. The team at NYCResistor have a new laser cutter and they want you to know about it. Check out this tiny, tiny, TINY dinosaur that’s like half the size of a fucking penny. How in the world do you even design things this small? Either way, it’s awesome and I want an entire fleet of robo-dinos to battle my toy soldiers. Rawr!
